Daniel J. Evans is now on the
job as Evergreen's president. On
July 12th, he spoke with two
staff members of the COOPER
POINT JOURNAL on subjects
relating to his presidency. The
following insights and opinions
are excerpts from the Evans interview.
JOURNAL: We were wondering exactly what a college president does and what exactly you
have been doing.
EVANS: Of course I came to
the job from a somewhat different background than most of
those who have been in higher
education all their lives, and that
may bring some strength, and
also some weaknesses, but it certainly means a different style of
management.
During the last
month, I've been heavily involved, of course, in just plain
orientation, trying to find out
what we're doing in terms of current programs, where we are in
terms of potential enrollments
for the fall, the physical opera-
Evans -On The Job
tions of our Business Offices and
our Admissions Office. We have
gone through the process of hiring faculty for next fall.
The last week, or so, has been
a tough one, really related to
budget and the problems of seeing a budget from a different end
of the pipe than over the last
twelve years. It's such a gusher
when we put it in and it's a real
trickle when it comes out.
I've already had an opportunity to speak to two clubs, I've
got meetings which will come up
shortly with the school superintendents of the Thurston County
schools. I'll try to do just as much
of that as I can, including meetings with individual legislators in
their own home communities.
One problem which I really intend to spend a fairly substantial
amount of time on during at
least the next six months to a
year, is to try to translate the
Evergreen story to the outside
community.
JOURNAL: We have talked
about the external things you've
been doing, about public relations and also the budget, but
are there things internally that
you'd like to do here7
EVANS: To try to observe
how people are doing their jobs,
what kind of jobs they are doing,
to see if through any kind of
change in organization, we can
end up doing things better. I
think one of the ways to get a
better insight into the Evergreen
formula, the way in which education is carried out, I think
would be to teach. I'm meeting
with some of the academic deans
and the head of one of the programs, in the next week or so, to
really investigate further what
kind of time involvement there
would be and how I might fit it
in. If I could possibly do it, I'd
like to. I don't even know whether
I'd be any good at teaching, but
it would be fun to try, and it
would be fun to learn from that,
much more personally just how
the system works and how well
it works.
JOURNAL: Do it now, I'm
graduating soon. President McCann felt that student protests
should be regulated, what are
your feelings on campus demonstrations 7
EVANS: I think the measure
of a free society is really how
civilized a protest can be, l hate
to see us get to a point where we
have a whole book full of specific
rules and regulations. It seems to
me that that almost goes counter
to the original concepts of Evergreen. Unlike some other institutions who have very close control . . I guess parents can send
their children to these institutions
feeling that in reality they will
be substitute parents. I think we
ought to hear everyone, and that
includes students, faculty, and
staff. We've got to act in a way
that allows everyone to treat everyone as a civilized adult, and
that means a really very careful
view as to how protests are carried out when it's felt necessary
that lhe protest is used, and I
think that .
Good grief, if we
don't believe in protest at all, we
reject our own beginnings as a
nation. We started out of protest
of pretty substantial proportion.
But, I think that it requires some
common sense on both sides,
both from the administration's
point of view, in not trying to
anticipate and regulate before the
fact, and by those who protest.
They've just got to be good
enough to make an effective protest, but keep it in civilized terms
so that we don't end up, either
internally, or, forced upon us externally, with some unusual rules
that I think would help destroy us.
JOURNAL: You didn't seem
too well djsposed toward the
strike contingency plan that was
brought up at the last Board of
Trustees meeting. Do you see a
need for such a plan 7
EVANS: I think it was too

One Small Bite For Rasmussen,
A Gaping Hole For Evergreen
by Karrie Jacobs
After three days of d«ision•
making meetings, Evergreen's
1977 - 78 budget was presented
to the Budgetary Unit Heads on
Monday morning, July 11, by
President Evans, Vice-Presidents
Clabaugh and Konnondy. and
Bill Robinson of the Budget Office. The meeting was an unusually grim one. attended by those •
staff members who had submjtted
their budgetary requests the week
before, and were hoping that
their areas would be fully funded.
This, unfortunately, was not -to·
be the case. The funds allocated
to Evergreen by the legislature
for the 1977 - 79 biennium were
not sufficient to fund all of the
college's operations fully, and a
great deal of cutting, shifting,
and rearrangi.1g had to take place
before anything resembling a balanced budget could be devised.
BULGES AND HOLES
The main deficit in the 1977 78 budget stems from the administrative budget, which finances such things as the Board
of Trust ... , the offices of the
President and Vitt-Presidents,
the college's fiscal operations,
Penonnel, The Sounding Board,
and Equal Opportunity
programs. It is a "1rge budset and its
$1,~42,064 request pushed t~e
~nt~ budget· $195,000 over its
hm,t.
.
. .
.
Accordmg to Admm1strahve
Vice President De.an Clabaugh,
there are three main reasons for
the bulg~ i.n the ad~inistra.tive
budget. F1nt of all, m previous
years a~ut S.1~;000 a year could

~ s u e.t an it is an o tgation that will be met at the expense of the college's offices and
services.
The third factor which drove
the administrative budget beyond
its limits was simply inflation,
rising costs that were not accounted for in the legislature's
allocation.
The administrative budget is
not the only area that callled
problems in balancing the budset
for the coming yur. There is also
the problem with "non-comparable activities," which att items
that •PPHr nowhere in the legis-
lature's formulas for funding institutions. The legislature, eager
to go home after a long session,
decided that it would be easiest
not to provide for those troublesome non-comparable activities.
Evergreen being the unique institution lhat it is, had cornered
!he market on unusual and irregular budget items. For example,
under the heading of Student
Services we have the Third World
Coalition and an outgrowth of
the Coalition, the Educational
Opportunity Program, which is
appearing in the budget for the
first ear. Because these items

SKIN GRAFTING
Clabaugh, Konnondy. Evans
and Robinson undertook the difficult task of making a $195,000
deficit disappear without eliminating any services. Two methods were arrived at as solutions
to the problem. first of all.
money will be borrowed from
the 1978 - 79 budget and placed
in the 77 - 78 budget (sometimes
known as the New York ·c;ty
technique). in hopes that more
funding will be avai"1ble during
1978-79. According to Clabaugh,
relatively little was shifted, in
comparison, that is, ~o the .t~tal
budget of well over eight m1ll1on
dollars. About $30,000 of lnstructional Funds were brought
forward, as well ,as $17,000 of
the library Groups budget. Another $45,000 was drawn into
this year's funds, from money
earmarked for unemployment insurance, which the legislatu~e
simply forgot to allocate. This
was done on the assumption that
the legislature will remember and
will correct their oversight in the
1978 session.
Many of the area's budgets
were trimmed and funds were
transferred out of some items to
support the administrative program, in a process somewhat
akin to skin grafting. The hardest
hit were Plant Operations and
Maintenance
and the Library
Croup, whose requests for new
positions 10 staff the Communications building were not funded.
This absence of funds presents a
considerable obstacle in the opening of the Communications
building. As Associate Dean of
Library Services Dave Carnahan
pointed out. "I don't see how we
can operate that building without a staff."
Health Services will be funded
this year, but not without some
type of cutback in service. It was
determined that $15,000 had to
be sliced from that budget but
the method has not yet been decided on. The possibility of setting
a fee of three dollars per visit
was discussed and it was hoped
that students' insurance would
cover the charge. However it
could not be assumed that all
students h'ave some form of insurance, and Evans asserted that
any additional fees on top of a
tuition hike and increased charges
for room and board would not
go over well.
The most likely solution to the
problem of funding Health Services, at this time, is the formation of a combined Health Services and Human Growth and
Counseling
Center, either in
physical space or budset. There
is also a possibilit)' of running
the clinic on a four day week,
instead of five.
The skin tight budget will
make the college's operations difficult to say the least and in some
instances, as in the case of the
Communications
building, almost impossible. 'The budset."
said Evans, at the Monday me-eting, "was an opportunity for the
legislature to giv~ Slim Rasmussen one bite of the apple."

Ah, Evergreen
T0 the Editor
This morning I talke-d with my
in,;tructor al the University of
Washington
He teaches History
ot Chnst1an1ty (or History 307 as
it 1s call('d). To talk with him, I
had to make an appointment with
his secretary m advance I had
prrsented a wntten request, three
pages long. asking some specific
questions about statements he
mad(' in his lecture He doesn't
like his lecture disturbed by questions m class When we talked
the points in question were dis:
cussed at length. Exactly onehalf hour in length. "I am sorry
to cut this oH, I have another
student waiting."
You Stt, it is a hard thing leaving Evergreen. There is a bitter
taste to the method served up at
the University of Washington as
education. I may be over-sensit 1ve. True. Or, I may just love
the process of education, real education, so deeply that I resent it
like hell when it is taken away
and replaced with brand X.
I would like to include an excerpt of a letter I wrote during
that penod in Evergreen history
when the legislature cut the budget drastically and there was
some serious question
about
Evergrttn having a future:
"In his book, ~yond Freedom
and Dignity, Dr. B.F. Skinner
says, 'Traditional educational es·
tablishments
specify what the
student is to learn ""' what age
and administers tests to make
sure that the spKifiations
are
met.' The Eve~rttn
State Col•
~ is a major achievemfflt in
the movemmt towards a mean•
ingful, effective and progttS,Sive
education. There are no grades
at Ev('rgreen A system of evaluatmn ol wml... 1s used rather
than tests to make sun• tha1 thf'

The Evergreen State College, and
to develop 11 mto an institution
0f change, dedicated to the ad•
vancement and enhancrment of
our culture. They have now cut
our funding and caused severe
injury to the well-being of what
they helped to create. This p«ul1ar behavior I do not understand.
Nor is ii necessary that ii be un·
derstood. Evergreen will survive.
It has tough people in its community who are not prone to
giving up when things are grim.
The student body of this college
would do well to consider carefu~~yth~ir role in the difficulty.
. If wisdom gained at Evergreen
,s ~at a gift, surely the opportunity to use Evergreen is. Yes,
we pay tuition, but i£ Evergrttn
didn't exist, your tuitton couldn't
buy you what Evergreen has to
offer "
I hope you understand the
bea.uty of Evergrttn. The purity
of its spirit, the energy it generates in your mind. The frttdom
of thought and the e-xp~sion of
that thought are beyond estima•
tion. I a~ here at the University
of Washington and I miss that
be.1uty terribly.

Sit Down,
Protest,
And Study
To the Editor:
The way the library hours are
set up this summer, one would
think the administration was attempllng to organize a conspiracy
to prevent students from studymg The library is open while
students are attendinK class and
can make little use of it. In turn,
the library do~
when students
arc just finishing classes for the
day, and need it the most! It is
obvious that the library hours
are de..,igned for the convenience
of the library staff, but what is
sometimes forgotten by the administration is that this school is
here because the students are
here, and if there were no students there would be no school or
admin1strat1on. In the past week
I have been talking to ditterent
administration
and staH mem•
bers in a quest to set up a study
hall on campus, yet there has
been resistance to the idea becau$(' the administration and staff
do not see a studn1t need for a
study hall. They hav• asked me
to show them that there is a nttd
before they will discuss the mat•
ter any further. So I am propos•
ing to a=mble a SIT IN STUDY
PROTEST at the library to acknowleda:e our nttd for • study
hall II So on July 19 from 4 ,00
until after library closing hours
th,re will b. a SIT IN STUDY
PROTEST at th• library loung•
in front of the circulation desk.

Then.
there 1s a narration booth which
can be used by a person dubbing
in the voices for a movie. at the
same time that the film is being
shown on the screen at the front
of the hal:. Pretty nice. huh?
Well, that's not all. Downstairs
there are orchestra and chorus
rehearsal rooms, an eight-track
recording studio and a spacious
black box lab.led The Experimental Theater, which can serve
as either a free form theater, or a
television studio, or both at the
same time. It even has extra fl.at,
extra smooth floors to allow .a
TV camera on wheels to move
across the room without jiggling
the picture. In addition to all that
there are dance practice rooms
and lounges on the third floor of
the building that were designed,
according to a very proud tour
guide at Evergreen's Founder's
Day celebration, so that it would
be impossible for a faculty member to conduct a seminar in them,
designed specifically as student
k•unge areas. It sounds a little
like heaven for the media or perlorming arts student.

Feminists And Mormons Meet In Ellensburg
by Linda Lombard
Editor's Note: The Washington State Conference
for Women, sponsored by the Nation~ Commission
for lnternation.al Women's Year WilS held in fJlensburg
from July 8th lo July 10th.
It will take time for me to clarify all my thoughts
about the Women's Convention in Ellensburg, this
past we-ekend (July 8 • IO). The following can only be
d bnef report, by a feminist, personally involved.
The Mormon men won a few minor battles at this
nmvent1on, but the women of Washington State may
have won the major victories. Take 2,0CXJwomen who
have been isolated, told what to do, and how to do it.
l"'ut them in the midst of 2,(X)() feminists
and, no one
will ever be the same.
News reports relayed the technical results: "AntiERA Women Win," "All voting showed a decisive
~rlit • or "Pro-ERA slate of delegates chosen." But
what really happ<>ned and the total results may never
be fully 1-..nownor comprehended.
The purpose of the convention was "to identify barriers which prevent women of the State and Nation
from participating fully and equally in all aspects of
lite and "to develop a State Plan of Action with a
timetable tor removing those barriers." This wa.s done.
Over 30 pages of precise, clear-cut resolutions developed out of the 80 workshops on Saturday. Although most of these recommendations were not passed
as "resolution" (were not passed "officially" by the entire convention). they will be forwarded to the National Women's Conference and will be brought to the
attention ol the National IWY Commission.
These resolutions detailed specific actions needed to
remove barriers to women and minorities in the areas
of Arts &: Humanities, Child Care, Disabled Women,
Economic Independence, Education, Family Life, Female Offenders, Grant Writing, Health, International
Inter-dependence, Equal Rights Amendment, Media.
Older Women, Positions of Influence, Women &: Poverty Reproductive Decisions. Racial and Ethnic Minorities ( Asian Pacific, American Indian, Black and
Hispanic), Rural Women. Sexual Violence, Strategies
tor Change, and Volunteerism. (The TESC Women's
Center will have file copies of these resolutions,)
Women from various viewpoints met, discussed, argued, debated, share-d and compromised to resolve
each word and phrase in these recommendations,
Women in each workshop were overwhelmed with
stat15t1cs. and the realitie-s of discrimination. Facts
were presented about laws affecting women, what
must be changed, and why. Each aspect of discrimination was discussed by women who have been personally affected. Some women had been so affected, by
so many forms of discrimination, it became impossible
for them to relate their contributions in emotionless
terms. How do you ..unemotionally" state that discrimination has kept you in poverty. or broken up
your family, or denied you opportunities which you
know exist for others 7
There is no way a woman can be exposed to the realities of sexism and racism without being affected. By
Saturday afternoon, it became apparent that many
Mormon women were beginning to have their consciousness raised.
There's an old feminist saying, "Consciousness
raised. I can't go back." The Mormons had come to
the convention expecting to defend their families from
!he philosophies of the "hard core feminis,ts." Instead,
they found hard core feminists, middle-of-the-road
feminists, conservative feminists and new feminists.
They found women from diverse positions and diverse
concerns. Many of their stereotypes about feminists
were shattered. The displays, buttons and personal
comments expressed the feminist concerns of giving
women personal choices to provide for children, to
eliminate racism and sexual violence, to aid disabled
or older women, etc. Perhaps what they didn't find
was equally important. They did NOT find irrational.
insensitive feminists with green horns and combat
boots. Many of these women began to think their own
thoughts and acknowledge their own feelings. "Mormons were once a persecuted people in this country , . we've forgotten that."
"We are led by righteous men."
..I just didn't realize . "
Many feminists felt frustrated. resentful and saddened that pro-ERA efforts diverted them from their
main objectives. "We fought this battle five years ago!
I came here to get on with the work!" Much of the
effort and energy was used to stop anti-women's rights
resolutions. The pro-ERA resolution was not passed,
but. an anti-ERA resolution was not passed, either.
All women found ways to share. Every woman
seemed to experience many high points during the
convention. Here are a few which I experienced or
heard about:
- Walking with an 87-year-old
pro-ERA march,
- Seeing looks of disbelief ind
suffragist in the
horror
whenever
statistics were presented.
- Receiving living hislory lessons from older
women,
- Listening to women play women's music.
- Seeing the "automatic" priority-treatment
given
to older women, handicapped women, and women
with children.
- Watching parliamentary procedures being followed and explained, at the same time. (How "unpolitical" and democratic!)
- The Asian Women's button, "Lotus Blossom
doesn't live here anymore."
- The Farm Women's Booth with information and
free. fresh cherries.
- The bright cards in every women's restroom:
"Washington has had an Equal Rights Amendment for
five years. Do you see any men in your bathroom?"
- Laughing at the amazement from the Mannon
bloc when feminists didn't always vote as a bloc.
- The visitation, in spirit, of Elizabeth Cady Stanton to speak for women's rights during the ERA workshop.
- The ailing Mormon woman who was given aid
and support during the Gay Rights workshop, by a
lesbian.
- Hearing union women explain laws, contracts
and policies affecting working women. They knew it,
down to the last comma.
- Buttons expressing the other sides of the abortion
issue: "fight Abortions. Get a Vasectomy."
Work was done and much was accomplished. The
pro-ERA slate demanded a unity that has never been
experienced before by Washington women. The Washington delegation will have a majority of pro-women's
rights delegates, All women learned. The ripple effects
from this convention will lead to changes - in beliefs
and commitments.
I wish it could have been more "positive," but perhaps it was more constructive for women's rights this
way. Would the news media have given the convention as much coverage if there was no confrontation 7
Would women throughout the State even know what
happened? Will some women still be able to pretend
that the wide scope of the women's movement doesn't
concern them, or that women's problems are all resolved?

Women's Slowpitch
The Evergreen State College
Women's Slowpitch Team has
had a full schedule this year,
playing most Mondays and Wednesdays since May 16. Although
the team got off to a hesitant
start with many new members
and little experience in working
together, the last few games have
shown TESC to be a formidable
opponent.
The players are working as a
team now, easily fielding most of
the balls that come to them and
taking out runners smoothly and
surely. Their hitting is getting
better, and their spirits are up.
It's a different ball club from the
one that lumbered onto the Lacey
field last May. Team members
"talk it up" on the field, often led
and encouraged by catcher Leigh
Miller, who has been with the
team for two years. Katie Steele,
short stop, leads the team in
runs, hits, and runs-batted-in,
wilh a batting average of .571.

newcomer to the team, joining

I think many women learned, or reinforced in their
own minds, what one Black woman stated in her plea
for the ERA, "Until we are all equal, none of us will
be equal."

Tht> fate of Thurston County
agricultural lands is an important
and complex subject. Questions
such a!:>who can own them, who
can pave them, who decides how
they're to be uSt'd and who pays
the back taxes on tax easements
are real sticklers, for they all
touch upon two thorny issues:
personal freedom and money.
Thurston County has oHicially
recognized,
in the Thurston
County Comprehensive
Plan,
that agriculture is an important
asset lo the county, and should
be preserved if possible. Agriculture ensures the existence of open
space, and it provides jobs. Not
only can Thurston County agriculture be defended somewhat on
an economic basis, but agriculture in general can be strongly
defended on histc;,rical, sociological, and aesthetic grounds. Who
would dare to argue that farms
are not an essential part of our
culture?
Between 1964 and 1974, the
number o( farms in the county
had decreased from 1,193 to 529.
During that same time span, the
amount of acreage for farm use
had decreased from 129,895 acres
lo 62,211 acres. The main reason
for the decline of farms has been
that the nsing cost of property
taxes is coupled with the pressures asserted by a growing number of people. An expanding
population continuously requres
more space for new houses. new
roads, and ironically, new grocery stores. It's hard for farmers
to hold onto their land as farmland and it's advantageous (and
often necessary) for them to sell
ii. In some cases. farmers also
face difficulties in finding a fair
market for their goods, particularly when the market is dominated by large corporations that
can afford to sell their goods at a
lower price than smaller growers.
There are no easy solutions for

slowing the trend of disappearing
farmland in Thurston County.
However, within the county,
there is one way in which local
farmers can gel direct support
from county residents and this is
through the Thurston County
farmers' Market. Starting this
Friday and Saturday, and continuing every subsequent Friday
and Saturday
throughout
the
summer, growers from Thurston
County (and a few from Eastern
Washington) will be selling their
produce from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
alongside Capitol Lake, at the
corner of Seventh and Water.
For the third summer in a row,
fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables will go on sale by the people who planted them, plucked
them and packed them,
Although the Farmers' Market
receives no special funding, the
community
has already given
generously to the Market in time,
labor and support. The Senior
Center and local news agencies
have been especially supportive
and all of this has affirmed the
desire to have such a resource in
the county. A direct market of
this kind benefits the grower, fo,
regular marketing costs are no
longer subtracted from his/her
income. It also benefits the buyer,
who cannot only purchase produce at a fair price. but can talk
to the people who nurtured the
produce.
Yes, preserving agricultural
lands in Thurston County is a
complex and ticklish subject. so
much so, that one is inclined to
throw up one's hands and give
up hope and 'interest. On the
other hand, there are some
things, like the presence of a
lively and productive Farmers·
Market, which can make a difference in future plans and decisions controlling the fate of
farms in this county.

Community (PLC), The War Resisters league (WRU, The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR),
and Concerned About Trident.
Concerned About Trident is
working in the courts, fighting a
legal battle against the weapon.
The FOR and WRL use education and civil disobedience as
tools in their operations. Since
the concerns of these two organizations encompass far more than
Trident, their efforts regarding it
are funnelled largely into support
for the PLC. The FOR and WRL
both have long histories of war
resistance. FOR was founded just
prior lo WWI, when two ministers. ont" an Englishman and one
a German,

stroy their friendship. WRL was
started nine years later in 1923.
Both are international peace organizations that presently span
the globe. PLC, in contrast. was
founded in 1975 and is geographically limited to the West coast
of the United States. and the
Southwest portion of Canada.
Of the organizations resisting
Trident, the PLC is the most visible. They have drawn public at•
tention to it many times in the
last few years. In summer 1976,
about 30 PLC people were ar•
rested for cutting fences at the
base. and "invading" it so that
they could plant a gard,n. This
year has seen an intensification
of their efforts beginning with
Trident Concern Week last May
and the declaration of '"Bangor
Summer." culminating in three
demonstrations at the bast'.
On July 4th. the first of these
began early in the afternoon.
About 200 people attended, in~
eluding members of the PLC and
FOR people who had come from
a regional conference they Wf're
having nearby. All the protesters
had taken workshops in nonviolence. The police and the
Navy were informed of what to
expect, so everything proceeded
peaceably.
While the main body of the
demonstration conve~ed at lhf'
primary entrance of~ the bast",
two smaller groups amounting to
37 people and including eight
children, entered the base. one
group using boats to reach the
beach while the other climbed

to the restraint ol thf' guards that
the members of this expedition
were allowed to sit down and
have their picnic before they
were arrested. The eight children
were released.
